Equipment
- Large pot (for cooking pasta and broccoli rabe)
- Wide skillet
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch broccoli rabe
- 16 oz pasta (I used penne rigate. Use any pasta of your choice, including spaghetti)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 large cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- ½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (tweak to your preference)
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook for five minutes until tender. Use a pair of tongs to remove the broccoli rabe to a chopping board, chop roughly, and set aside. Cook the pasta in the same water until al dente.
- Place oil in a wide skillet or saucepan. Add the garlic and turn the heat to medium low. Sauté the garlic until it turns a light gold.
- Add the red pepper flakes, the broccoli rabe, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Stir in the cooked pasta along with a cup of the pasta cooking water. Check seasoning and add more salt or ground black pepper if needed. Finally, stir in the parsley.
